According to this,
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/IBM7248-HOWTO/cfdisk.html, cfdisk
automatically makes extended partitions as needed.

It seems as though your partition table got corrupted (due to some
kind of error?).

I think you would need to use a more advanced partitioning tool, one
designed to fix partition table errors. If you happen to have a backup
of the partition table/boot sector area, and did not change anything
else, you should be able to restore that and try again. Otherwise I
don't know of any way, except for re-partitioning.

What is the difference between DOS and linux extended? AFAIK they are the
same.
Were the drive letters scrambled in DOS?
